[spoiler]The Gauntlet
Length of Event: Varies
Unique Reward(s): High ISO Reward (last node of each map)
Other Notes:
There are 3 maps in the event. Beating the last non-essential node on each map opens up the next map.
There are only individual progression rewards; no placement awards (individual or alliance).
**Update: One run of the event implemented individual placement awards for fastest completion time in addition to the progression awards. The top 10 players in brackets of 10000 got an event token 10-pack; the rest of the bracket received a Standard token. There were no alliance placement awards.
Points are awarded once per node. Nodes are repeatable but only to collect the additional ISO/token/boost awards.
Points are fixed; there is no rubberbanding in this event. Scaling is set at the start of the event based on your roster strength. Some individual scaling does still seem to exist as enemy levels have increased during the event for some players.
Well, because of a combination of Peggy/Xpool/Quake being boosted (and champed for my roster), the no character restrictions change, and the fact that I’m a terrible employee who shouldn’t be left with his mobile phone at his desk, this was the quickest I’ve ever cleared a Gauntlet to get the top 4* reward.
So since I’ve now got some free time, here’s the new match ups with the newer characters mixed for that last sub:
UPDATED w/2nd sub now, there were changes there too.
I am! I´m already through with Wilderness Survival & Alpine Tactics and nearly half way through with Global Domination. Since I have no health pack left at the moment (thanks to Carnage & Iron Fist nodes), I´ll finish the rest tomorrow.
I was just happy to finish this event in a day. OML/4*Deadpool/Quake rolled through it, with subbing in Deadpool or Quake on the required character nodes based on opponent.
Any advice on beating Gwenpool, Medusa and Fat Cpt America? I’ve tried 10 times and can’t do it. I don’t have the luxury of many high level 4 stars other than baldy x and nick. All my 3 stars are Champs.
Can never remember where to ask this question… Brigby please move if wrong spot
Myself and a couple of alliance members are struggling with Sim 34.. any tips out there??
Strike this - lol - thought I’d try IF, KK & BP (3*) smashed it!! Only took minimal damage… I’m thinking lucky board cascade with 3 criticals in first move wiped out Medusa
It’s really weird. In the previous runs of the gauntlet, I used to have little problems until at least somewhere in the 3rd sub. But this time I’ve had multiple losses already, and I’m only halfway sub 2. Did the scaling change, or is it due to my own progressing roster? Since last time they ran the gauntlet, I have my first 2 4* champs (XFW+IW), and some 5s at level 280. But aside from 3 5 level 280s, my top spots for this event are still boosted 3*s in the level 276-282 range.
Currently wiped 3 times already on node (3Thor, 1BW, Juggs!) with varying teams. Might just have to bring some boring default team to win it (SW/LC/IF or something).
There were only a few nodes that gave me trouble this time…I just finished beating the entire gauntlet for the first time ever!
The Medusa/Peggy Carter/Gwenpool (Sim 34) node just destroyed every team I put up against it until I got a blue filled board while using Nick Fury, Ghost Rider and Hood. Even a LVL 314 Peggy Carter is no match for a LVL 366 Demolition from Nick Fury.
After she went down, it got somewhat easier. I did notice that Medusa’s countdown tile doesn’t count as damage done by her for Penance Stare, though. Too bad.
The other one that gave me fits was 4-star Blade/Deadpool/Antman (Sim 40) because the first few times I tried it were very heavy red boards. When Blade keeps plopping down 440 Strike Tiles every turn, your team dies rather quickly. Finally, I got a non-red heavy board while using 4-star Thor, CHulk, and IM40. A yellow match-5 started things off right, and two recharges later Blade was down, Deadpool and Ant-Man were stunned, and charged tiles were everywhere.
Everything else was a first or second shot. Now my 4-star Luke Cage is a 3/0/2.
Yeah, the Medusa one was a pain. My first attempt failed (don’t recall the team, I think it was Quicksilver, Thoress (3/2/5) and Bullseye), and my second attempt was by the skin of the teeth with probably LC/SW/IF again. Had to whale the Captain M4rvel / WM / Punish3r node after 2 failed attempts. Now waiting for some more healthpacks to regenerate. Hard.
